Overview and Screenshots

The new version of Adobe After Effects has a bunch of new functions and performance enhancements - so much of both that the new release is totally worth to check out.

First of all, Adobe After Effects CC 2018 has a data-driven animation with JSON support - a flexible and useful file format that can contain huge loads of static data (for example, it's used to represent massive survey results or weather-related statistics). Adobe After Effects CC 2018 now can read these files and create informative graphics and data-based animations with diagrams and charts.

Then, Adobe After Effects CC 2018 introduces a whole new world of 360-degree video and virtual reality editing. It supports high-quality media for both types of images, provides various effects and titles, has enhanced transition options that make the result really seamless. The new version has a separate user interface for constructing such immersive image/videos with a wide range of creating and editing tools.

Also, the upgrade has some new ways to speed up your working. For one, use a new keyboard shortcut editor to assign more comfortable shortcuts and to work without unnecessary clicking. Then Adobe After Effects CC 2018 has enhanced performance with additional GPU accelerated effects, so it actually will work faster if you do nothing.

All in all, the improvements in Adobe After Effects CC 2018 go through all the interfaces and functions, so even if the developers don't call this upgrade a major one, it can bring some great change to your workflow.
